A comparison of ant fauna of Zakynthos with ant fauna of Samos islands is presented. Both islands have similar surface area (405.6 versus 476.4 km2) and are placed almost on the same latitude (37°) but represent the most western and the most eastern fauna complexes in Greece; 78 species and morphospecies were recorded from both islands but only 23 species are common. Key words: ants, Greece, East Aegean Islands, Samos, faunistics, taxonomy. INTRODUCTION Zakynthos is a Greek island placed in the Ionian Sea. It is the third largest of the Ionian Islands, placed 13.5 km south of Kephalonia – the largest Ionian island, and 18 km west of the Peloponnese. It is also a separate regional unit of the Ionian Islands Region. The area of the island is 405.55 km2 and it is 37 km long and 19 km wide. Its coastline is roughly 123 km. The island is very diverse, with a mountainous plateau on its western half, steep cliffs on southwest coast, and densely populated and fertile plain, with long sandy beaches and several isolated hills, on the eastern part.

  • Excursão Shore2shore
    Visita Panorâmica a Zakinthos Itinerário Encontro no porto pelo nosso guia com o cartaz Shore2Shore. A nossa viagem a Zakinthos começa na cidade de Zante e levar-nos-á à nossa primeira paragem na aldeia de Bohali, onde os visitantes podem desfrutar da vista deslumbrante da cidade. A partir daí dirigimo-nos para a aldeia de Volimes, onde teremos a oportunidade de comprar produtos locais tais como azeite, mel e vários artesanatos. A próxima paragem será a famosa Praia dos Naufrágios, que pode ser fotografada de cima através da plataforma de observação perto da aldeia de Anafonitria. Como já estamos na aldeia de Anafonitria, iremos visitar o Mosteiro de Panagia Anafonitria, que é a nossa última paragem. Zante está localizada na base da colina de Bochali e é simultaneamente a principal cidade e porto da ilha. Após o terramoto que destruiu a cidade em 1953, iniciaram-se os trabalhos de reconstrução e é agora uma cidade moderna que se encontra em contínua expansão no interior. Zakynthos oferece muitas vistas interessantes, tais como a famosa Igreja de Agios Dionysios, a igreja de São Dionysios, bispo de Zante e santo padroeiro da ilha, que alberga as relíquias do santo; os numerosos museus e as características praças da era veneziana de D. Solomos e São Marcos. As vielas minúsculas e silenciosas, as casas antigas com os seus pátios floridos e a paisagem encantadora com vista para a baía da cidade farão do seu passeio um dia único e inesquecível. Partiremos para Bohali, uma bela zona de Zante, mesmo à saída da capital e incluindo as encantadoras aldeias de Akrotiri, Kryoneri e Varres.

  • Zakynthos, Ionian Islands
    A bit of crystal blue… Zakynthos Zakynthos is an island bursting with things to see, explore and enjoy - from the beautiful beaches, lovely traditional villages, picturesque mountain scenery, watersports, sights such as the Shipwreck and Venetian Castle and as if that wasn't enough there are also several interesting museums; an ideal way to learn more about this wonderful place and its distinguished residents. Zante Vacation Zakynthos is one of the Greek Ionian Islands located off the west coast of the Peloponnese. The island is one of the greenest and most beautiful in the archipelago and boasts some superb sandy beaches. It's the beaches of Zakynthos that make the island a magnet for the package holiday hordes that migrate here between Easter and October. The busiest seaside resorts rival those of Corfu in terms of their frantic nightlife and all-action beach scene. But if you venture further afield than the main resort areas you'll find some lovely secluded coves, dramatic mountain scenery and unspoilt inland villages. The island's mega resort is Laganas on the south coast where 14 kilometers of golden sand gently shelves into shallow water. The main beachfront is chock-a-block with bars, restaurants, hotels and apartment blocks and you'll find all manner of watersports and leisure facilities including ballooning and glass-bottomed boat rides. If you're after 24-hour partying, Brit bars, curries and quiz nights then this is the place for you. You may even find yourself swimming alongside the beautiful loggerhead sea turtles which use the soft sand of the south coast beaches as their nesting grounds.

  • Conservation of Micromeria Browiczii (Lamiaceae), Endemic to Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands, Greece)

Conservation strategies are urgently needed for addressing the ongoing loss of plant diversity. The Mediterranean basin, and especially the Mediterranean islands, host numerous rare and threatened plants in need of urgent conservation actions. In this study, we assess the current conservation status of Micromeria browiczii, a local endemic to Zakynthos Island (Ionian Islands, Greece), and estimate its future risk of extinction by compiling and assessing scientific information on geographical distribution, population dynamics and repro- ductive biology. The population size and the geographical distribution of the species were monitored for five years. The current population of the species consists of 15 subpopulations. Considerable Citation: Valli, A.-T.; annual fluctuation of population size was detected. The species is assessed as Endangered according Chondrogiannis, C.; to the International Union for Conservation of Nature threat categories.
